[Bug 2003660] [NEW] No completion for git subcommands

[Peter]

Public bug reported:

Package versions:

ii  bash-completion 1:2.11-6ubuntu1
ii  bash            5.2-1ubuntu2
ii  git             1:2.37.2-1ubuntu1.2

While completions in Bash work for most commands I tried, they don't
work work for Git sub-commands, as in:

git com<Tab>          # Completes to "git commit"
git commit --am<Tab>  # Does not complete to "git commit --amend"

It looks like none of git's subcommands get any command line
flag/option/parameter/argument completions at all.
